Ed Bledsoe lost his wife Melody Bledsoe, 70, and grandchildren, James Roberts, 5, and Emily Roberts 4, in the Redding fire, which has become the ninth most destructive wildfire in state history. Bledsoe recalled the phone call he received from his grandson while he was out trying to get supplies. “He’s saying, ‘grandpa, please, you’ve got to come and help us, the fire is at the back door,’” Bledsoe told CBS Sacramento. I just keep seeing all of their beautiful faces.”Bledsoe told CBS News he didn’t receive any warning to evacuate his Redding home before the inferno engulfed it. Officials were investigating whether the Bledsoe home received a warning call or a knock on the door to evacuate, Shasta County Sheriff Tom Bosenko said.
